Best time to weigh a snake?
When does everyone take a weight on their snakes? I know the best time is when they are empty, but if your feeding every 5 days, when is that? Or every 7 days?

I feed my girl every 5 days and I weigh her on the 4th, it seems to be working but I have no clue if there is an optimal time to weigh them.

So far I have been weighing on the day I feed, right before I feed them all. I was just curious if there was a "best time" to weigh them

After they go to the bathroom is most likely the best time.

Normally after you see stool in their tank, this lets you know how much weight they retained from their last meal (If you weighed before the meal).

I weigh before and after I feed. I give her some time to make sure it's down, then very gently weigh her...
